When To Split Up Databases?

Need To Union And Group Split Databases
We had a divestiture within our company. Now what used to be contained in one database in now split into two databases. One showing all history and one being all current data as of 6/1/2008. Is there an easy way to Union or Join these? Right now I'm currently doing a simple UNION ALL, but can't group the two select statements:

SELECT
Year,Location,QtySold
FROM
historydb

UNION ALL

SELECT
Year,Location,QtySold
FROM
currentdb

Can't do a subset and group both of these selects. How would some of you pro's do this? Right now I can put this in a simple view and then create a SP off of this view that would do this grouping, but it seems like I should be able to do it all in one query. Thanks.

Linking Tables From Different Databases Or Querying From Multiple Databases
Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.

Service Broker Not Working For Restored Databases (SQL 2000 Databases Restored On 2005)
I just restored my SQL server 2000 database on the SQL server 2005. after this i ran the Service broker sample ("Hello World") on this database by changing the AdventureWorks name to the new database name. The "setup.sql" runs fine. When i run the "SendMessage.sql" i was not getting any rows in the output (The message was not getting inserted into the queue). I checked the Service broker is enabled on this databased using the query "select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = 'newdbname' " It was 1. I even tried the ALTER DATABASE SET ENABLE_BROKER. but it didnt work.

When i tried the sample on a newly created database it worked fine.

Is there any solution to make the restored database to work for service broker.

Thanks

Name Split
Quick question.

I've got a CHAR (70) field called NAME that has a first and last name separated by a space. I want to split it into two fields FIRST and LAST -- with all the characters to the left of the space a first name and all the characters to the right of the space as last name. I couldn't find a string function that would let me do this simply (it may be right in front of me and I missed it).

Thanks in advance.

To Split Or Not To Split
I have a database with a "large" table containing date based information Basically they're reservations. I've thought about creating a new table and adding any records from past years to this table. For the most part only current reservation need to be searchable, but in some circumstances it would be useful to be able to search through the archive too. so, my questions!!!

Is 8,000 or so rows of data "large" and unwieldly in SQL terms?

Would splitting this data into 2 tables - one small table for current and future reservations and one larger archive table then using a UNION SELECT query to make archive information seachable be a significant improvment on server resources/load or am I making the whole thing more complicated than it need be as 8,000 rows of data is nothing to worry about.............

What did they say about a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing?

Thanks in advance of any guidance to a neophyte!!?

SPLIT() UDF
SQL UDF split()

The objective of this article is to help the SQL developers with an UDF that can be used within a stored procedures or Function to split a string (based on given delimiter) and extract the required portion of the string.

Scripting languages like VB script and Java script have in-built split() functions but there is no such function available in SQL server. In my experience this function is really handy when you’re working on an ASP application with SQL server as backend, whereby you’ll need to pass the ASP page submitted values to the SQL stored procedure.

To give a simple example, in a typical Monthly reporting ASP page – the users would select a range of months and extract the information pertaining to this date range. Classic implementation of this model is to have an ASP page to accept the input parameters and pass the values to the SQL stored procedure (SP). The SP would return a result set which is then formatted in the ASP page as results.

If the date range is continuous ie. JAN07 to MAR07 then the SP can typically accept a ‘From’ and ‘To’ range variables. But I’ve encountered situations whereby the users select 3 months from the current year and 2 months from previous year (non-continuous date ranges). In such scenario the SP cannot have a date range as input parameters.

Typically an ASP programmer would do is by having a single date input parameter in the SP and call the SP within a loop in the ASP page. This is an inefficient way of programming as contacting the database server within an ASP loop could cause performance overhead especially if the table being queried is an online transaction processing table.

Here is how I handled the above situation.

1.Declared one string input parameter of type varchar(8000) (if you’re using SQL 2005 then it is advisable to use Varchar(Max))
2.Pass the ASP submitted values as string, in this case the months selected by user would be supplied to the SP as a string
3.Within the Stored Procedure I’ll call the split() function to extract each month from the string and query the corresponding data

The basic structure of the stored procedure is as pasted below:-

CREATE PROCEDURE FETCH_SALES_DETAIL (
@MONTH VARCHAR(MAX)
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @MONTH_CNT INT,@MTH DATETIME
SET @MONTH_CNT=1
WHILE DBO.SPLIT(@MONTH,',',@MONTH_CNT) <> ''
BEGIN
SET @MTH = CAST(DBO.SPLIT(@MONTH,',',@MONTH_CNT) AS DATETIME)
--<<Application specific T-SQLs>>-- (BEGIN)
SELECT [SALES_MONTH],[SALES_QTY],[PRODUCT_ID],[TRANSACTION_DATE]
FROM SALES (NLOCK)
WHERE [SALES_MONTH]= @MTH
--<<Application specific T-SQLs>>--(END)

SET @MONTH_CNT=@MONTH_CNT+1
END
END

Dbo.SPLIT() function takes 3 parameters
1)The main string with the values to be split
2)The delimiter
3)The Nth occurrence of the string to be returned

The functionality of the UDF is as explained STEP by STEP:

1.Function Declaration
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SPLIT]
(
@nstring VARCHAR(MAX),
@deliminator nvarchar(10),
@index int
)

RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX)

Function is declared with 3 input parameters:-
@nstring of type VARCHAR(MAX) will hold the main string to be split
@deliminator of type NVARCHAR(10) will hold the delimiter
@index of type INT will hold the index of the string to be returned
2.Variable Declaration
DECLARE @position int
DECLARE @ustr VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @pcnt int

Three variables are needed within the function. @position is an integer variable that will be used to traverse along the main string. @ustr will store the string to be returned and the @pcnt integer variable to check the index of the delimiter.
3.Variable initialization
SET @position = 1
SET @pcnt = 1
SELECT @ustr = ''
Initialize the variables
4.Main functionality
WHILE @position <= DATALENGTH(@nstring) and @pcnt <= @index
BEGIN
IF SUBSTRING(@nstring, @position, 1) <> @deliminator BEGIN
IF @pcnt = @index BEGIN
SET @ustr = @ustr + CAST(SUBSTRING(@nstring, @position, 1) AS nvarchar)
END
SET @position = @position + 1
END
ELSE BEGIN
SET @position = @position + 1
SET @pcnt = @pcnt + 1
END
END

4.1The main while loop is used to traverse through the main string until the word index is less than or equal to the index passed as input parameter.
4.2Within the while loop each character within the string is verified against the delimiter and if it does not match then local word count variable is checked against the input index parameter
4.3If the values are same ie., the input variable index and the word being processed in the while loop are the same then the word is stored in the @ustr variable. If the values does not match then the @position variable is incremented.
4.4If the character matches with the delimiter then the word count variable @pcnt is incremented along with the @position variable

5.Return the value
RETURN @ustr

I hope this article would benefit those who are looking for a handy function to deal with Strings.

Should I Split The Procedure Or Not???
I have a procedure that is going to be called through asp pages. This procedure carries out instructions depending on whether customers wants to insert, update or delete their portfolios. Rules are as follows: 1. It should not allow duplicate portfolio name to insert. 2. If customer has reached their max limit of 20 portfolio they can't add. They may have to delete or update the existing portfolio first. 3. all the error handling is done and returned as output parameters.

Now coming to the question at present I have one procedure that does all these things. Should I split up the procedure and have three procedures handling the events seperately: 1 Insert 2 Delete 3 update The reason I am concerned is 1 procedure being hit so many times by concurrent users with varying events. I am concerned about performance issue and slowing down of the page. I do not have exact numbers of users at this point. But they would be in thousands or more. Thanks for any suggestions or advice you all might have to share. Hiku

Conditional Split
 

Hello Group
 
Can somebody guide me on the prefered standards of doing this
 
I have a Colunm in a table having both NULLS and some data
 
Ex:
Table 1
Col1           Col2
--------------------------
1                MSDN
2                Forum
3                NULL
4                NULL
5                Condition
6                Split
7                NULL
 
I want to move the data from this tabel to two different table depending upon the value in Col2
 
 
Table2
Col1           Col2
--------------------------
1                MSDN
2                Forum
5                Condition
6                Split
 
 
Table 3
Col1           Col2
--------------------------
3                NULL
4                NULL
7                NULL
 

For doing this I used a simple Conditional Split Task after table 1
First Approach
Output Name; Null Data Condition: ISNULL(Col2)
 
I routed the output Null Data to Table3 and the default to Table2.
 
Strangely I see some data in Table3 which is not NULL. That is Table 3 is having a data which is not equal to null in Col2.
I have no clue why will it do that.
 
 
Second approach
Output Name: Data,  Condition: !(ISNULL(Col2))
 
I routed the output: Data to Table2 and the default to Table3.
 
Strangely I see some data in Table3 which is not NULL. That is Table 3 is having a data which is not equal to null in Col2.

Conditional Split
I am using a conditional split to evaluate the condition below.  It should only send records to my SQL Server database if the PatientZip matches one of the eight below and the PatientCity is not Wichita Falls (you wouldn't believe how bad this is mispelled sometimes).  I checked the output table and it has all records for the zipcodes below both matching and non-matching the cityname of Wichita Falls. The table should not have entries for records with the cityname of Wichita Falls.  Do I have the code correct or could I have missed something?
 
LTRIM(PatientCity) != "Wichita Falls" && (PatientZip == "76301" || PatientZip == "76302" || PatientZip == "76305" || PatientZip == "76306" || PatientZip == "76307" || PatientZip == "76308" || PatientZip == "76309" || PatientZip == "76310")

Get &> Array &> Split &> Listbox
Hi everyone, having some problems

Basically, using ASP.NET 2.0 and here is my problem,

Get data from table
Put into array
Split where there is a +
remove +'s
assign to listbox to give a list of everything in that table

The + split the courses, so in my Order table I have A + B + C etc and I want all of the different options in a list box (note different records have different entries it isn't always a b c)

I am testing my code, here is what I got

       Public Sub TitleChange(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs)        Try            Dim DBConn As SqlConnection            Dim DSPageData As DataSet = New DataSet()            Dim VarTxtAOE As String            DBConn = New SqlConnection("Server=SD02;Initial Catalog=WhoGetsWhat;Persist Security Info=True;UID=x;Password=XXX")            'Dim DBDataAdapter As SqlDataAdapter            DBDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("Select AOE FROM TBL_Role WHERE Title = @ddlTitle", DBConn)            DBDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@ddlTitle", SqlDbType.NVarChar)            DBDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters("@ddlTitle").Value = TitleDropDown.SelectedValue            DBDataAdapter.Fill(DSPageData, "Courses")            'Need to find out what this rows business is about whats the number about? and am I doing it correct?            'txtAOE.Text = DSPageData.Tables("Courses").Rows(0).Item("AOE")            'txtAOE.Items.Add(New ListItem(DSPageData.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("AOE")))            VarTxtAOE = DSPageData.Tables("Courses").Rows(0).Item("AOE")            Dim VarArray() As String = VarTxtAOE.Split("+")            Response.Write(VarArray())            txtAOE.DataSource = VarArray()            txtAOE.DataBind()                        'Response.Write(test)            'ListBox1.DataSource = test                        'Response.Write(VarArray)                    Catch TheException As Exception            lblerror.Text = "Error occurred: " & TheException.ToString()        End Try    End Sub  My response.Write works correctly, but my list box doesn't, also I don't want to say which bit of the array like I have done using 1, I just want to display the whole array in my list box. I am not worrying about removing the +'s at the minute, just splitting my data and putting each section into a listbox

Maybe I am going about this the wrong way, but I have been trying a lot of different things and its hard to find any help

Thanks

SQL String Split With | Pipe
I've got a dilemma here. I'm currently reading records into EasyListBox (ELB) dropdownlist. The criteria in the dropdownlist is based on the select from another ELB dropdownlist. The problem is that the data contains rows with pipes that serve as separters. For example, one of the options that comes back now might be 123 | 456 | 789. I need to be able to make each of them its own row in the dropdownlist. Can anyone advice? Most records don't have any pipes and come throught fine, but some dont.

Design -- Should This Be Split Up Into A Few Tables?
I'm grappling with this design problem right now:

I have a table of users. Every user has an e-mail address and (hashed) password. Some of those users work for a company, and some of them do not. Of those who do not work for a company, some are salespeople who sell to one or more companies. Some users are simply administrators who don't work for a specific company. So here's what my users table looks like right now: "UserID, Email, Password, CompanyID (Nullable), IsAdmin"
And here's my companies table: "CompanyID, CompanyName, SalespersonID"

Of course, I could separate it out and make a Users table, an Employees table, and a Salespeople table. The way the relationship works out, though, I could use the same ID number for all three tables, and that indicates to me that perhaps they all belong in the same table. It seems silly, after all to have a Salespeople table whose only field is "UserID."

Two factors of the first design concern me: First is the fact that a salesperson could also have a company. I guess I could write a check constraint to prevent this, but doesn't having the companyID in the Users table violate a normalization rule? Maybe? The second is the fact that the Companies table relies upon Users, which in turn relies upon Companies. In OOP, this usually isn't a good thing, but I'm not sure whether it's cause for concern in a relational database.

Anyway, I really don't know what I should be doing with this design. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
-Starwiz
